Rose/Liz,
I agree with Peter's calculation of the distance from Hilo to SD of 2350 nm. Rhum line is 2166 nm so this is a bit longer. Estimating 12.5 Kts made good may be high heading against the trade winds in December.
Captain Desjardins - please verify my calculations and provide comments on SOA.
Proposed track is:
Depart Hilo , transit via:
1. 21N , 152W
2. 22N, 147W
3. 23N, 140W
4. 25N, 139.8W
5. 25.9N, 129W
6. 26.5N, 126W
7. 27.2N, 125W
8. 27.2N, 123.7W
Thence direct San Diego
10 hours of survey desired between points 6 and 7 above.
